Dream Clean-Up Installation - Adobe Animate

Hi all, I just tried to install the plug in mentioned in the title after switching to Windows from Mac. I do not remember the last time I used Animate but this plugin was a godsend. Now I'm in urgent need of it for a project and I cannot install it no matter what I do. I saw a previous thread about this but none of the solutions provided have worked. I have tried multiple programs including WinRAR and Anastasiy's Extension Manager. The former doesn't recognize the zxp fiel type and the latter says the extension is already installed (its not.) I cannot access the zip file for th elife of me. Any help would be appreciated I'm losing my mind here lol.

    Hi! I have managed to update the manifest and get it through the Exchange process. Basically there was a syntax issue with forward slashes and back slashes. The plugin on exchange should noew install without issues 🙂

      Manually rename ZXP to ZIP.

      Then extract the content (you don't need WinRar for that) and copy it into Config Commands and Tools, which is in:

      C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate 2024\en_US\Configuration

       

      Detailed instructions are here:

      Unfortunately I tried that already, I'm getting the same results as OP from that thread. I get a pop up saying the "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged. No archives found." Tried re-downloading the file and attempted it again but no different.

      I'll reach out to the author. I was hoping I was just missing something

      It's a download problem then.

      Do you still have access to your mac?

      If so, go to Config and copy the files from there.

       

      Otherwise, you can always contact Levi George ( @Levizilla  ). He will help you with the corrupted file.
